The concentration of open source projects around proprietary services has always bugged me, glad people are making action.

I love protonmail. I will keep on using protonmail. No matter how many times people bring this up I will continue using it. I do not care about politics on the other side of the globe, and I'm not jobless enough to censure everything I use because of my political opinions, or the opinions of those who create the products I use. The Lemmy community has an insane tendency to bring up events that may be deemed as a "bad move" in order to completely blacklist it for moral grandstanding. It's happened to Hyprland, Ladybird, Protonmail, Brave and so many other pieces of software that are good on their own, but irrelevant and misconstrued information is somehow more important than the software itself. I guarantee that if you apply this logic to everything you use, you would be forced to revert to a hunter gatherer because nobody can fully agree with anyone else.
Volkswagen and Ford had people running the company who supported Nazis, Linux has code from maintainers from Russia, almost all gadgets on this planet have cobalt from slave mines in the Congo. But nobody goes around saying that you can't drive cars, or use Linux, or use a phone, because truthfully you don't believe in this logic, you are just using it in order to claim moral superiority and get upvotes. My computer will continue running Hyprland, I will continue supporting Ladybird, I will continue using Protonmail and I will continue to push back against these attitudes hellbent on distorting everything that makes FOSS and adjacent services so good.
Just be thankful that I'm not running gmail.
Like it was ever real to begin with
At this point I'm going to personally donate to Ladybird because you people have been spreading this bullshit for months
This is it... This is the last straw!!! I was ok with the destruction of free trade, I was ok with the genocide funding, I was ok with the bastardisation of the administrative branch, and I was absolutely okay with the racism!!! But this, THIS??? ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! As a MAGA supporter, I cannot stand for this any longer! You should be dismantling the minorities, not my website!!!
